The third season of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars premiered on January 25, 2018 on VH1. The filming of the series was said to start on July 28th and ended in late August. The season was first officially teased across social media on Friday, October 13, 2017, with the official cast being revealed as an hour-long TV special, hosted by RuPaul, on Friday, October 20, on VH1.

The winner of this All Stars season was Trixie Mattel.

Morgan McMichaels and Kennedy Davenport returned to All Stars 5 in 2020 as “lip-sync assassins”, in Episodes 4 and 7 respectively. McMichaels won the lip-sync in a tie with contestant Miz Cracker, whilst Davenport lost to Cracker.

On August 20, 2020, Chi Chi DeVayne tragically passed away after being hospitalized with pneumonia.

About the Show

"Following an Emmy Award-winning ninth season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” Mama Ru is back with season three of “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars,” featuring some of the most sickening queens to ever take the “Drag Race” runway. RuPaul revealed the nine returning queens during an hour-long televised pre-season episode, which also included a special interview with the iconic, Chaka Khan. Michelle Visage, Carson Kressley and Ross Mathews will return to the judging panel alongside RuPaul for a season tucked to the edges with more tea, more shade, and more twist-filled challenges than ever before. The highly anticipated new season will kick off this winter on VH1." ^[1]
